Safe Hut – project coordinated by CESIE and involving six partner organizations – supports and promotes the social and working inclusion of vulnerable women and adolescents, with particular attention to beneficiaries with a migratory background, including Ukrainian women fleeing the ongoing conflict.
The Safe Space launched in Palermo in 2020 by Centro Penc, with the support of Unicef and Comune di Palermo, is a place where women and adolescents are supported through empowerment processes to seek, share and obtain information, access services, express themselves and improve psychosocial well-being, fully realizing one’s rights.
